Water of Lollicraft

Just lately my time is split between work and play - Waterlollies during the day and World of Warcraft at night. Here's a fresh image from Waterlollies which incidentally, I must say is coming along very nicely. After a few months of solid freelance work, I was sure it'd be difficult to get back into Brackenwood, but it's been fun.



On the subject of World of Warcraft, was this you?



You happened to send that at a time when I was AFK watching the wild weather outside. I tried replying but you'd gone, so uh.. sorry bout that, and thanks for the support :)
If you're ever in my neck of WoW, drop me a line.. I'm happy to chat.

Realm: Khaz'goroth
Faction: Horde
Name: Fok

I even have a guild called Prowlies, so pst me for an invite if you're a regular.

Munch's War

Nathan Viney has been hard at work again, just finishing his mockumentary/interview/sketch comedy Munch's War. Mike Swain (creator of Blockhead) and I did some voice acting for it too and no... well, yes... I'm kinda almost the complete nutter he makes me out to be.

ColorStudio by artibaj

I'm very impressed with a Flash extension called ColorStudio. I've actually gone and bought the full version ($9.99 USD) because the free Demo was so tantalising.

It was built for Flash 8 and the creator has recently released a Flash CS3 compatible version (thanks!).



To be completely honest, Flash's colour mixing tools are adequate (if a little clunky), but if you're a colour fanatic like me, ColorStudio is a relatively miniscule investment for what it delivers.. not to mention that it's a lot of fun to play with.
One thing it doesn't have (which I'd like to suggest for the next release) is the ability to save your colour mixing progress. When I close and reopen Flash, all of the awesome colours I mixed are gone.
The workaround of course: save colours as swatches using the Flash Swatches palette.
On the ColorStudio page, some of the english is a little broken, but once you've played with it a bit and understand how it works, it's all pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks once again to all the donors.. I'm forever grateful for this huge show of support!

Adamski, hope all is going well.
Is it me or are there no outlines in that bitey pic you posted? Looks mounthwatering, you're stuff is getting more and more insane each time. You're like a one man animationstudio. Imagine what ten Adams could do, they'dd say like... "hi sexy" and "wanna go take over the world with moi".
Then they'dd go driving and do naughty stuff.

Or maybe they would just go animatsing toghether.

Anyhwo, keep on working that flash. You're gonna get "there" one day, I know it.

Wow, that snippet of a preview is ridiculously tantalising. Heh, your stories really are incredible. It's so cool to see you use the most of your incredible talent. It's real inspiring.

Wishing you all the best for Waterlollies!

P.S. I know your working your butt off on Waterlollies... but it would be awsome to see some more cool Yuyu sotries on the story page! <|^_^|>

P.P.S. Oh, and Nathan, that Munch's war was great, nice one!
